Moving textures and transparency

All nice and fun to roam around in semi-static enviroments, but how can we make better looking skies, glass or even water in this world when even those basic things aren't possible yet? Is there any scripter out there who can at least provide a script to have textures move on faces?

This could work if things would have better support from the api? I'm not a scripter, but what am I doing wrong here?

using Sansar.Simulation;
using System;

public class waterScript : MonoBehaviour {

public float OffSetSpeed = 0.5f;

//Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

float offSet = Time.time = OffSetSpeed;

renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = new Vextor2(0,offSet);

}
}

  Where did you get the start script as your source? This doesn't follow any of the basic patterns for Sansar scripts.

  For now, we cannot control any of the textures on objects. I suspect it will be a while before we can, in part because of how much more complex texturing is in Sansar.

  @Galen
  It's just a basic C# script Galen, I was told that Sansar supports C#, not 'Sansar scripting', if there is such a thing...

  Yes, but please try writing a functional basic script (or copying an existing example) to gain the experience before tossing a randomly contrived script out here. Right off the bat I see 4 basic things that scream "I just made this up".

  I'm gonna say not made up but copied right from here

  https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material-mainTextureOffset.html

  While this looks and feels and quacks like Unity, Peter Linden says it's not.

  Which could simply mean, it's modified from Unity as a base.

  Anyways, they have their own API here, so you'll want to look at the docs on that.

  Ah, that makes a little more sense, then. I apologize for seeing it as entirely contrived. But yeah; I think it's a mistake to see Sansar's API as anything less than unique and requiring its own learning curve.

  Unity != Sansar , So i would never use a unity script.
